Are We Doing Bloobs? Trivia with a Blueberry Farmer

Let the trivia fireworks begin! Today we bring on trivia host, blueberry farmer, and perennial optimist John McConville for some rounds! Chuck starts us off with a round all about "Famous Fourths" (02:20). Then he grants John's wish for a before-and-after round built around music and movies (14:20). Sean noodles around with a round about guitars, and then really starts to wail on a round about guitars in movies (18:40). We close things down with a trivial look at the years 1776 (34:40).

Scant Applause for Vegetables: Trivia Live at the Bryant Lake Bowl

It's our first ever live show! Get ready with that big dinger cause we've upped our dinger budget and zeroed out our guest budget. The crowd is the guest and they are awesome. Chuck, Sean and Beth invite players up for some conversation and trivia rounds about Veggie Sandwiches, A 50 Piece, Trivia Bowling, Follow My Names, Happy Birthday and Get the Lead Out.

3-2-1 Balzac: Trivia with a Space Scientist

We found the one scientist who has the free time to guest on a trivia podcast on a workday. Dr. Christopher Colpitts knows a lot about plasma and he's not afraid to tell you about it. Well, maybe a little afraid, but not that afraid. Chuck gets us started with a round that only sounds dirty (02:46). Then he combines geography with dad jokes to make sure nobody's happy (17:40). Sean pitches Chris a few questions about his favorite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox (23:42). And we close up the episode with a round that ends "well" (37:50). 👉 No Brains, No Lightbulbs is a trivia podcast produced by the world’s greatest trivia company, Trivia Mafia [https://triviamafia.com/], in the great state of Minnesota. 📍 Find a Trivia Mafia trivia [https://www.triviamafia.com/locations] night near you! 📥 Sign up for “The Morning Rounds [http://eepurl.com/iKporo],” Trivia Mafia’s amazing daily Trivia trivia newsletter! 🫶 Join our Patreon [https://patreon.com/triviamafia?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink] for exclusive member perks and other goodies!

Ride in My Baja Cutlass: Trivia with a Trivia Host Emeritus

Claudia Holt is a fashion icon and a Trivia Mafia hero. As one of our original hosts she receives all the financial and status benefits that the title of Trivia Mafia Host Emeritus implies.

I'll Take the Basement and the Ribs: Trivia with a Tony

Sports! History! Reverse trivia! It's a bonanza of fun with trivia writer, host, and gimmicky kickball player Tony Abbott. Chuck kicks us off with a rollercoaster up-and-down round (02:02). Then we pop the car into "R" and back into a round called "Trivia in Reverse" (15:07). Sean adds three categories together and gets "Sports History Math" (28:53), and then we wrap up with grand old round celebrating St. Paul's Grand Avenue (40:38). 🎟️ Tickets [https://www.bryantlakebowl.com/gift-cards-merch/p/no-brains-no-lightbulbs] for the 6/17 Live Recording at Bryant-Lake Bowl 👉 No Brains, No Lightbulbs is a trivia podcast produced by the world’s greatest trivia company, Trivia Mafia [https://triviamafia.com/], in the great state of Minnesota. 📍 Find a Trivia Mafia trivia [https://www.triviamafia.com/locations] night near you! 📥 Sign up for “The Morning Rounds [http://eepurl.com/iKporo],” Trivia Mafia’s amazing daily Trivia trivia newsletter! 🫶 Join our Patreon [https://patreon.com/triviamafia?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink] for exclusive member perks and other goodies!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
